The Odd Couple * LORI FOSTER
Ford Caruso agrees to an unusual favor--playing the part of new boyfriend for his adamantly single, irresistibly sexy neighbor Skye Fairchild, whose clueless ex refuses to accept his fate. But as Skye starts dropping by to use Ford's pool, and even plan dates, the charade begins to feel satisfyingly real, complete with choosing rescue dogs together--a giant mutt and a fierce little chihuahua who adore each other. From one odd couple to another, some things are destined . . .

Force of Nature * MAISEY YATES
Rescuing animals is in Lydia Clay's blood, so when a mournful old cattle dog named Hank shows up at the shelter, she knows exactly where to take him: to cattle rancher Remington Lane, her brother's hot, and usually grumpy, best friend. Hank belonged to Remy's estranged father, which is one strike against him, but when Lydia offers to help the man ease into dog ownership, he can't say no. And as he and Lydia work together, it looks like an old dog can actually teach this brooding cattleman some heart-warming new tricks . . .
